“It's No Walk in the Park: The Cost of Togetherness in a Capitalist Culture”
From Loitering to Loneliness: How We Lost Public Togetherness - We explore why it's so hard to just “be” together in public without spending money. Fawn shares a powerful childhood memory about being othered for gathering in a park, sparking a bigger conversation about how American culture often discourages community connection unless it's tied to consumerism. From the stigma of loitering to the high cost of simple outings, we ask: Why is togetherness treated like a threat, and is there a system in place that keeps us isolated? Join us as we unpack the quiet obstacles to friendship, belonging, and free communal joy.
